Now you are on the right track lol I forgot to tell you the Mexican food in that area is a Tex/Mex probably different than your home area but it was the kind I grew up with and love the stuff, Mexican food we have in AZ sucks to me

Bus ran fine all day then wouldn't start.The starter turned real slow then stopped a couple times. Then stopped all together. All I could hear in engine bay was the relay clicking.

I cleaned all terminals on battery and starter. Both sides of any connection I could findTested voltage at all points on the starter and solenoiddiscovered my alternator battery connection was shorting on the chassisReattached alternator with with new lugTested starter and solenoid by Jumping 24v to it directly no soind or reaction from either.Took starter in and it tested bad.Replaced starter and we are running now.

He knows now after 20 minutes of testing remove the starter and have it tested

lol. BTDT

Now, I have my button back there. I don't even need 20mins of testing. If I push my bypass start button, and nothing happens, then I am checking batteries. If they are good, I am totally putting a new starter in.

No doubt it would probably take 20 min to diagnose now. Although it was a productive breakdown. Got a few other things taken care of.Made it to Alamogordo last night. Picking up a solar/DC powered chest freezer for the bus today in ElPaso.

A curmudgeon's reputation for malevolence is undeserved. They're neither warped nor evil at heart. They don't hate mankind, just mankind's absurdities. They're just as sensitive and soft-hearted as the next guy, but they hide their vulnerability beneath a crust of misanthropy.

Cliff, That's funny, 20 amp free service. Man that would run the toaster on one of these new high dollar energy hog coaches!

With a big inverter I run on 20 amps most of the time when visiting friends and relatives. But don't run A/C. It really depends on how you set it up and what you are willing to sacrifice. Man did this thread drift LOL
